man his wares, the parson his flock, the
housewife her domestic duties and looked
for bargains in Real Estate alley" The

GOING INTO THE COUNTRY
For the past three days men VINO desire
investments in the country have been 90
ing through the county, and many farms
have changed hands. Some of those who
bought along the railroad in the vicinity of
Brighton have paid as high as $50 per
acre, but a majority of the land sold has
brought prices ranging from $35 to S75.
Yesterday four farms lying side by side,
just north of the Slough House changed
hands, as follows: James Robinson, 200
acres, to n. L. Drew Peter Robinson, 200
acres, to w. +. Gerber; VIM. Harlow, I72
acres, to r. Wittenbrock Cornelius
Toomey, $50 acres, to w. J. O'Brien. 1t is
said that similar sales were made, and are
being made,
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COUNTY.
These sales are not of listed property; the
real estate agents have nothing to do with
them they are bargains made directly be-
tween the purchaser and seller. a man in
from Michigan Bar yesterday said that ey-
cry farmer in that neighborh0od has been
called upon by moneyed men, and in every
instance where reasonable prices were
asked sales were made. There is no option
with the farmer-a cash transaction with
out time, except that taken in making out
the papers. The farmer sells everything
on his place except wife, children and
wearing apparel, and is given his own time
to move. In a majority of instances the
farmer is engaged at a monthly salary 10
take care of the place, and some have
agreed to stay on yearly salary.
ELK GROVE AND VICINITY.
The same activity in farm lands IS re-
ported from Elk Grove. where they have a
little boom of there own" Asgentleman
writing from their yesterday says there is q
constant and increasing demand for small
farms and in some cases two and three
parties buy large tracts, with a view of cut
ting the same up into small farms.
A great many Elk Grove people who
COillCli DldLtb SSAliliE Ouk 10 90 south
or to Oregon have since this boom com
menced, declined 10 sell, and will no doubt
in the future be better satisfied with the
land in which their lot is cast. Folsom
also has boom, not in town property, but
in surrounding farm lands. party of
gentlemen who went up there Monday in
tending to bond ranches found they were
too late. Many had been sold, and those
farmers who had not disposed Of their
acres declined TO tie them up to Adventures
who had nothing to lose and everything to
gain. Cash down. or no go, is tie motto
OF the ranchers in that section.
THE SOUTHERN PORTION.
Gait is also enjoying its share of tie
boom, and the editors Of the Gazette. who
have so long been working and praying for
its coming, are correspondingly happy.
Mr. Campbell says that it has put new life
into the people OF that section, sud those
who @ are not happy can sell out al their
own price to wideawake agriculturists who
know good soil when they see it. and are
satisfied to make their future home IL the
vicinity of the thriving town OF Gait
PREPARING FOR SALE.
Yesterday engineer J. C. Person and g.
force of men were engaged in surveying the
Winters tract, of LOCO acres, up into small
farms, which will be placed upon sale.
These farms are about four mile south Of
the city, and are very desirable The Doyle
tract is also being surveyed, as are others ia
different portions of the county.
How long viii this boom last ?n is &
question that is frequently asked. II is q
question that no one can answer, but every
one who has examined the extent os it, the
character Of the people making invest
ments, the quality OF the soil, the many
advantages this section has over other To-
calities, from its central location, believe
that it has come to stay and that
the prices will annually increase.
No man who invests but what believes in
the pernsnency Of this section, and the re-
suit of the fruit sales in the East this sea
son settles the question beyond q doubt.
The sales OF city properly continue
lively, and will continue until the last piece
of property now offered is sold Hereto
fore the rush has been for unimproyed lots.
but yesterday improved property had the
call and many fine Eomesteads changed
hands
